WS-C4507R and WS-C4507R+E chassis

[Mahmoud El-sharif]

hi All,

     i have a question regarding 4500

     i already have a Cisco WS-C4507R chassis with Supervisor II+ and i need to add another core switch WS-C4507R+E with Supervisor 7-LE to work in active active mode as VSS through the 2G uplinks on the both supervisor

     is this applicable to be done

     and if yes , is there any limitation or prerequisites to make this work

Do you mean run VSS between your 4507R and the new 4507R+E ? If so then no you can't do this as the orginal chassis plus the supervisor II+ does not support VSS. See this link for hardware requirements needed for VSS  -

  If you need to run VSS then you would have to replace the original 4507R with the newer version.

Thanks Jon and glen for ur add

     i found that VSS is available on Supervisor Engine 7-E, Supervisor Engine 7L-E

     and the classic 4507R only support Supervisor Engine 6-E, 6L-E,  V-10GE, V, IV,  II-Plus-10GE, II-Plus

so the only way is to replace the 4570R with the newer E-series one as glen said
